I can't find in the manual where it specifies the type of brake fluid to use. I've been told by other builders that I might be able to use the fluid that is in the hydraulic system. Is this true? If not, whats the proper fluid to use. By the way, I replaced all of my plastic brake lines with with 1/8 aluminum lines and -3 size stainless steel braided lines. It was expensive and time consuming but it looks much more professional. I slipped teflon tubing over the stainless steel lines to hedge against any chaffing problems.
